Strategy to Expand Transitions to Permanent Residence : IRCC
Helping to transition from temporary to permanent residence is already an important feature of the Canadian immigration system. Several IRCC existing programs provide a pathway to permanent residence for temporary foreign workers and international student graduates across various sectors and skill levels.
When it comes to permanent economic immigration, the strongest candidates have not only the skills to integrate quickly into the Canadian workforce, but are also well-placed for success in the long term.
This strategy sets out a range of pathways focused on increasing opportunities to transition from temporary to permanent residence, strengthening Canada’s ability to meet a wide range of labour needs and address long-term labour shortages, and supporting community and regional needs. IRCC goal is to strengthen the connection between the labour market and IRCC immigration programs, to ensure the Canadian economy has the broad range of skills needed across all different sectors from health, hospitality, transportation, trades, and resources, IT and engineering. IRCC is focused on helping individuals transition from temporary to
permanent residence by expanding or adjusting the existing pathways for foreign nationals who are working in Canada and seeking to stay, including international student graduates.
